Morgan Clooney

Morgan Clooney was an Irish Catholic priest who was employed by the government of Mexico during the early 19th century. He converted the mostly-Protestant American immigrants to Catholicism in order to make them residents of Texas; the Mexican government wanted to maintain Catholicism as the state religion. However, he told fellow Irishman Finlay McNab that he was free to revert to Presbyterianism once he had settled down.
